England and Sweden playing one hell of a game

Its half time at Cologne and England are playing their best soccer of the world cup so far. Joe Cole is giving Swedish defense all kinds of trouble from left flank with his menacing dribbling and crosses so far Sweden have not able to stop him. And right now England are one nil up and who’s the goal scorer? Yes you guessed it right Joe Cole. It was one hell of a goal, he stopped the ball with his chest and while it was coming down he hit a perfect dipping shot and the off line Swedish goalkeeper was beaten. David Beckham, Owen Hargreaves and Frank Lampard are having an excellent game too with Lampard again trying four shots at goal but so far with no success. Wayne Rooney has been inspirational so far and his presence has made a difference to the English team. Only bad news for England is Michael Owen crawled off the pitch with a twisted knee and he will have a scan tomorrow.

Sweden seemed totally clueless in the first half and had zero shots on goal.

Ok here is an update Sweden have just equalized , yes they are back in the world cup with Marcus Allback goal from the corner and match is alive again. Sweden are back with bang in this game just minutes after scoring the goal they have hit the cross bar with yet another corner. England looking shaky here. And by the time I get the chance to upload another cross bar by Sweden this game is turning on its head.
